You did a fantastic job covering the race! I was somewhere in the mix there that night. And it indeed was warm... I know midway through the race I was working up a pretty good sweat on it. My "go" mile was around mile 7 or 8 and I think the heat sort of zapped any sort of 2nd wind. I still finished okay and well within my goal pace but I would've liked to have gone a little faster. I've done the race every year since its inception and while it may not seem hot out there, it is super dry and hydrating leading up to the start is so important. At least it wasn't windy this year.
Awww! Thank you so much! Congrats on your finish for the race! It was so warm...Not used to that desert heat. lol I've definitely learned my lesson, and will hydrate better the next time I run this race.
Lol! I was only there for a short 2 days so I didn't get to do too much, but I do have the expo coming for this race as well as a MGM Grand room tour:)
@passporttorun oh, I stayed at MGM Grand once a few years ago. Also, at Paris. MGM was so much nicer than the stupid Paris hotel. That one's a genuine tourist trap. So, good choice. I don't particularly like Vegas, but I would go back for a twilight race. That looked awesome.
@@dmkouznet It was definitely a good race! Would probably just sign up for the 5k and 10k next time, but would definitely recommend doing the half at least once. Looking in to hopefully doing the Rock n' Roll DC Half Marathon within the next year or two!
I'm binging on your videos, thanks for the inspiration.
I ran the half too - thanks for filming it so I could relive it!
Thank you! And congrats on your finish!

Look like a fun race must’ve been nice running at twilight thanks for sharing.
It was cool! Thinking about going back to run again.
Hope you had fun. I enjoyed both the 5k and half. Next stop DC
Looks like I made it in your video 13:56 - 14:02. I had a great time
Thank you! And how was the Rock n' Roll DC Half? I almost ran that one, but decided to save it for another year.
DC was good. Lots of hills but a great race.
Ooh, Vegas. Nice! Will we get to see some "behind the scenes" footage?
